This next exercise, called the Cobra or Bhujangasana, is a two stage exercise that stretches your spine but also tones the essential support muscles in your back and arms. In the first stage of this exercise, lay on your stomach with your legs together. Your arms should be close to your sides and your hands by your chest.Slowly arch your back so that you head and chest are raised as high as they will go, with your heart and chest pushed outward. Make sure to keep your buttock muscles tense to protect your lower back.Take several deep breaths and then gently lower yourself back into your starting position.You should repeat this step as much as you need to prepare for the next stage. In the next stage, do this movement again but when your head reaches its peak height raise yourself up onto your arms which will increase the stretching in your back.You should stretch as far as you can without discomfort, but make sure you keep your pelvis on the floor.Once again, take several deep breaths and then slowly come back down to your starting position before repeating the movement.
